Hello I've got a stock 1963 vw radio that I would like to install in my bug, however I am having a hard time finding out what wires go where and also what hardware will be needed to mount it.

Sapphire I or ?

There is a lot of radio stuff here on the site, including owner's and installation manuals:

From what I've learned there were only dealer installed radios nothing from the factory and dealers were free to choose a radio manufacturer that suited them. That said, Bendix Saphire's were the most common here in the states.
